Abstract: | Summary A biphasic dose-response pattern is generated by the isoquinoline, 3-carboxysalsolinol, in analgesia tests conducted in mice. Carbidopa pretreatment enhances this effect, as well as the morphine-induced analgesic increase by 3-carboxysalsolinol. Naloxone blockade of all of these responses suggests an interaction of the alcohol-based isoquinoline with central opiate receptors.We gratefully acknowledge the receipts of drugs from Merck and Co., West Point, Pennsylvania, and Endo Laboratories, Garden City, New York.
